Climate change in the past has led to significant changes in species' distributions. However,
how individual species respond to climate change depends largely on their adaptations and …

A goal of phylogeography is to relate patterns of genetic differentiation to potential historical
geographic isolating events. Quaternary glaciations, particularly the one culminating in the …

A major contribution to our initial understanding of the origin, history and biogeography of
the present‐day arctic flora was made by Eric Hultén in his landmark book Outline of the …

Abstract Aim The southern European peninsulas (Iberian, Italian and Balkan) are
considered to have been refugia for many European species of plants and animals during …

Up to the 1960s, there was nearly complete consensus that disjunctions and endemism in
the North Atlantic cannot be explained without in situ survival during the glaciations (the" …

This study details the phylogeographic pattern of the bank vole, Clethrionomys glareolus, a
European rodent species strongly associated with forest habitat. We used sequences of …

A species‐wide phylogeographical study of the root vole (Microtus oeconomus) was
performed using the whole 1140 base pair mitochondrial (mt) cytochrome b gene. We …

We provide the first comparative multispecies analysis of spatial genetic structure and
diversity in the circumpolar Arctic using a common strategy for sampling and genetic …

The circumpolar arctic fox Alopex lagopus thrives in cold climates and has a high migration
rate involving long-distance movements. Thus, it differs from many temperate taxa that were …

How species respond to an increased availability of habitat, for example at the end of the
last glaciation, has been well established. In contrast, little is known about the opposite …
